(Worthy News) – At least six Christians have recently been detained by police in India’s Karnataka state after Hindu nationalists leveled false accusations against them, International Christian Concern (ICC) reports. Rights groups report that Hindu extremists have increasingly abused anti-conversion and blasphemy laws to harass and persecute Christians in India; Hindu nationalists have been emboldened in these endeavors since their Bharatiya Janata party came to power in 2014.
The arrests were all carried out in the last 10 days of September, as Karnataka’s Hindu nationalist-led government announced its intention to enact an anti-conversion law forbidding Christians from leading Hindus to Christ.
